EXHIBIT 10.1
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT
$14,745,500.00 May 9, 1997
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 9th day of May, 1997, by and
between Supertel Hospitality, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter
referred to as "Borrower") and First Bank, National Association, with its
offices located at 233 South 13th Street, Lincoln, Nebraska 68508 (hereinafter
referred to as "Bank").
WHEREAS, Borrower requested and the Bank agreed to extend a term loan to
the Borrower in the principal amount of Fifteen Million Dollars
($15,000,000.00) upon certain terms and conditions; and
WHEREAS, one of the conditions of the loan commitment was a limitation of
loan amount based upon appraisals of various properties and based upon the
appraisals obtained the maximum loan amount shall be $14,745.500.00 instead of
$15,000,000.00.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the Borrower and Bank agree as follows:
1. LOAN. Bank shall lend Borrower the principal sum of Fourteen Million
Seven Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($14,745,500.00) (herein
the "Loan"). The initial rate of interest on the Loan shall be 8.65% per annum
which is derived from the March 31, 1997 five year United States Treasury
Security Index plus 1.9% (190 basis points). The rate of interest shall be
fixed at 8.65% until June 1, 2002, at which time the rate of interest shall be
adjusted and fixed until maturity based on the weekly average of the five year
United States Treasury Security Index for the week immediately preceding April
15, 2002, plus 1.9% (190 basis points). Payments on the Loan shall be in the
following manner:
a) On June 1, 1997, payment of any and all interest accrued to
said date.
b) Thereafter, consecutive equal monthly payments of principal
and interest based upon a fifteen (15) year amortization due and
payable on the first day of each month. The first of such payments
shall be due and payable on July 1, 1997. Based upon the initial
rate of interest, monthly payments of principal and interest shall
be in the amount of $146,504.18 each. The amount of the monthly
payments shall be recalculated based upon the interest rate
adjustment on June 1, 2002, recomputed based upon a remaining ten
(10) year amortization. Said recomputed amount shall be due and
payable on July 1, 2002 and the first date of each month thereafter.
c) Notwithstanding amortizations of longer duration, the entire
unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and any other sums shall
balloon and be due and payable in full on June 1, 2007 (the
"Maturity Date").
Interest on this Loan is computed on a 30/360 simple interest basis; that
is, with the exception of odd days in the first payment period, monthly
interest is calculated by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a
year of 360 days multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by
a month of 30 days. Interest for the odd days is calculated on the basis of
actual days to the next full month and a 360 day year.

The undersigned may prepay this Loan in part or in full at any time
without penalty provided however any partial prepayments shall be in increments
of thousands of dollars and shall be applied to the last maturing installment
payments and shall not postpone or reduce the Borrower's obligation to make
regularly scheduled payments until the entire unpaid principal balance and
interest and any other sums due have been paid in full.
This Loan shall be evidenced by thirteen separate Promissory Notes (herein
"Notes") with an initial aggregate principal balance totaling $14,745,500.00.
Notwithstanding multiple Notes, Borrower shall make one monthly payment to the
Bank covering all thirteen Notes. The payment shall be allocated by the Bank
amongst the thirteen Notes in proportion to the amount due under each
particular Note in proportion to the amount due under all thirteen Notes
collectively. In the event of default by the Borrower, Bank may elect to apply
payments to any Note that it deems fit in its sole discretion. Borrower waives
and shall not have any right to direct allocation of payments to any particular
Note or amongst the Notes contrary to the foregoing provisions.
This is a term loan and not a revolving line of credit. No funds will be
readvanced to Borrower after the initial funding of this Loan, except to the
extent that the Bank in its sole discretion elects to advance funds to protect
its security or otherwise exercise rights in the event of default or
non-performance by the Borrower. Proceeds of this Loan shall be utilized
solely to partially pay down the outstanding amount owed by Borrower to Bank on
a Revolving Term Promissory Note and Loan Agreement in the original amount of
$40,000,000.00.
In the event the monthly payment of interest or the monthly payments of
principal and interest on this Loan have not been paid within fifteen (15) days
following the due date on any such payment, a late charge of five percent (5%)
of the amount of said delinquent payments may be assessed by the Bank to cover
the extra expense involved in handling the delinquent payments. The Bank shall
have no obligation to accept any late payments unless such payment shall be
accompanied by the full amount of the late charge assessed as provided for
herein.
From and after the maturity of this Loan or from any default, the entire
principal remaining unpaid shall bear interest at the rate of three percent
(3%) per annum above the Note rate then in effect until the same is paid (the
Default Rate of Interest).
2. SECURITY. This Loan shall at all times be secured by a first and
paramount lien in favor of the Bank upon real estate operated as motels by
Borrower and all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all
furniture, fixtures, equipment, personal property, located thereon, and all
income, rents and accounts therefrom all as to motels owned by the Borrower at
the following locations:
Moberly, Missouri
Kingdom City, Missouri
Manhattan, Kansas
Wayne, Nebraska
Muscatine, Iowa
Ft. Madison, Iowa
Watertown, South Dakota
Portage, Wisconsin
Antigo, Wisconsin
Shawano, Wisconsin

The legal descriptions for such properties are attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
Borrower agrees to deliver and execute in favor of the Bank and to redeliver or
reexecute in favor of Bank Deeds of Trust (or Mortgages if preferred by Bank),
Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreements, and Financing Statements
(collectively referred to as the "Collateral Security") in form satisfactory to
Bank for the aforestated purpose of securing the Loan by the above-described
properties.
Borrower warrants and represents that the motel facilities at Sheboygan
and Minocqua, Wisconsin are operated as Comfort Inns and the motels at the
other locations are operated as Super 8 motels.
Although Borrower shall execute thirteen separate Promissory Notes in
favor of Bank in varying amounts totaling $14,745,500.00 in the aggregate and
although each Promissory Note will be primarily secured by assets at one of the
aforestated thirteen property locations, it is nonetheless agreed and the
intention of the parties that all properties serve as cross-collateral for all
Notes to the maximum extent allowable up to the total amount of this
$14,745,500.00 Loan.
Bank shall have, at all times, a security interest in and a right of
setoff against any deposit balances, or the property of the Borrower, or any
endorser or guarantors hereof, in the possession of the Bank or the holder
hereof; and Bank may at any time, without notice, apply the same against
payment of this loan or any obligations of the Borrower, or any guarantor or
endorser to the Bank, regardless of the existence of or amount of any other
collateral held by Bank.

inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or, make an

part of its property or business; or, such a receiver or trustee

h) if bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or liquidation

10
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default then, or any time thereafter, the
Bank or said holder hereof may declare all sums of principal and interest then
remaining unpaid hereunder, or under any or all of the Notes immediately due
and payable in full, all without demand, present or notice, all of which hereby
are waived. From and after the maturity of this Loan or from and after an
Event of Default the entire principal then remaining unpaid shall bear interest
at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum above the interest rate then in
effect until the same is paid. Failure to exercise any of the foregoing
options or any other right the Bank may be entitled to in the Event of Default,
shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such option, or any
other right, in the event of any subsequent Event of Default, whether the same
or different in nature.
Borrower hereby acknowledges that this Loan is to be evidenced by thirteen
separate Notes to be secured by assets in various states evidenced by various
Collateral Security documents filed in each state and that the Bank's remedies
in the event of a default may differ under varying state laws and procedures.
Although each Note shall be primarily secured by one of the thirteen properties
identified, each property shall also constitute security for all other Notes to
the maximum extent allowable. Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have the
greatest flexibility, collection rights and alternatives available. Without
limiting or otherwise restricting any other rights of the Bank, pursuant to the
Collateral Security documents or applicable law, the Borrower agrees to the
following. In the event of a default, Bank shall have the option: 1) to seek
recovery of the collateral by foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial), exercise
of power of sale, replevin, self help, appointment of receiver or as otherwise
permitted in the Collateral Security documents or under applicable law (any of
which is hereinafter referred to as "foreclosure") and/or, 2) to enforce
payment of any Note by suit, deficiency proceedings or any other legal remedies
allowable (any of which is herein referred to as "payment proceedings"). Bank
shall have the option to pursue foreclosure of all, any, or none of the
properties pledged as collateral concurrently, at differing times, or any time,
in its sole discretion and Bank may in each or any foreclosure, seek recovery
of all or any part of the unpaid amount of the Loan, in Bank's sole discretion.
If Bank pursues foreclosure against property for an amount in excess of the
amount realized by Bank from the foreclosure of said property and if there are
any restrictions or limitations on pursuing a deficiency, the restriction or
limitation shall not prevent or preclude Bank from seeking recovery of the
unpaid amount in foreclosure against other properties or payment proceedings in
any other jurisdictions, it being the intention of the parties that the Loan be
fully cross-collateralized by all Collateral Security. Borrower agrees that
any statute of limitations on deficiency actions for payment proceedings shall
be tolled and suspended until ninety days after Bank has completed the last of
any foreclosures that Bank elects to pursue. Notwithstanding the fact that
Bank may maintain foreclosures each seeking recovery of the full unpaid amount
of this Loan or amounts in the aggregate exceeding the total amount owed, the
Bank's total recovery from all foreclosures or payment proceedings or any other
legal or equitable remedies shall not exceed the total amount of all amounts
arising pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Notes, and Collateral Security
executed incident thereto.
8. MISCELLANEOUS. This Loan Agreement covers and applies to the thirteen
properties identified and the thirteen Promissory Notes and various Collateral
Security that will be executed pursuant hereto.
This Loan Agreement, even though limited in amount to $14,745,500.00, may
through inadvertence and oversight be referenced as a $15,000,000.00 Term Loan
Agreement in other Loan
10
11
Documents, Collateral Security Agreements, Modifications or other
documents executed in connection herewith and any such reference
notwithstanding the error in amount shall be deemed referenced to this Loan
Agreement.
The holder hereof may, without notice and without release of the liability
of any maker, endorser, surety or guarantor, add or release one or more such
parties or release any security in whole or in part. The holder hereof shall
not be liable for, or be prejudiced by, failure to collect or the lack of
diligence in bringing suit upon this Note or any modification hereof.
The Borrower, endorser, sureties and guarantors of this Loan, as well as
all persons becoming liable hereon, severally waive presentment for payment,
demand, protest, notice of protest, and notice of dishonor.
Borrower agrees to pay, to the extent permitted by law, all costs,
charges, legal fees, and costs incurred by Bank in collecting or enforcing this
Loan Agreement, the Notes, or the Collateral Security.
Borrower acknowledges that the Bank may, at its option, grant a
participation interest in, or assign all or a part of, the obligation evidenced
hereby to such parties as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion;
provided, (i) prior to an event of default Bank shall act as the agent for
participants for the purposes of servicing and administration of the loan, (ii)
such participation shall be in compliance with any laws applicable to Bank and
(iii) such participation shall be made only to FDIC insured institutions or
their affiliates.
This Agreement inures to the benefit of, and binds the Borrower and Bank
and their successors and assigns.
If any provisions of this Agreement or any other document issued in
connection herewith should be unenforceable or invalid, such provisions shall
be deleted and the reminder of the provisions shall be enforced just as if the
deleted provisions had never been made a part hereof or such other document.
